The Division's Creative Force, Julian Gerighty, Embarks on a New Journey
In a surprising turn of events, Massive Entertainment has revealed that Julian Gerighty, the visionary behind The Division series, is bidding farewell to Ubisoft to join Battlefield Studios. But here's where it gets intriguing: Ubisoft assures fans, "Don't worry," as they emphasize the enduring legacy Gerighty has left behind.
"Our teams, the very architects of this extraordinary world, remain steadfast in their commitment to The Division's future," Ubisoft assures. "The Division 2, Survivors, Resurgence, and the highly anticipated Division 3 are in capable hands."
Gerighty himself shared his sentiments, writing, "It's time for a new adventure, but I'll always cherish the memories and the watch."
And this is the part most people miss: Gerighty's impact on The Division franchise is undeniable. He co-directed The Division and The Division 2, bringing the post-apocalyptic world to life. His creative vision even extended to Star Wars Outlaws. Under his leadership, The Division: Heartland faced cancellation, but the upcoming Division 3 promises to be a true monster of a game, according to Gerighty.
As for his new role at EA and Battlefield Studios, the details remain shrouded in mystery. However, with Battlefield 6's massive success in 2025, topping the US charts, Gerighty's expertise will undoubtedly be a valuable asset.
